This afternoon I made my mid-afternoon cup of coffee as I normally do, using an electrically powered kettle, shown below. After putting a spoon full of coffee in the cup, I waited for the water to boil, and then poured in the water, turning off the kettle. After putting a little ice cream at the top of the cup, I went about 3 meters from the kettle, to sit on my couch.
About five minutes later, when I was halfway finished drinking the coffee while watching TV, I heard the bubbling of water in the kettle. The kettle's blue light was on, and it was heating a little water left in the kettle. The kettle had somehow turned on by itself, five minutes or so after I had last touched it. Turning on the kettle requires a firm press of a black switch. No one else was in the room. This brand automatically turns off when the water reaches a full boil; and I know there was only a small amount of water in it when I poured boiling water from it into my cup. So there is no chance that I simply failed to turn off the kettle at about the time I poured from it.
This is only the latest of 30+ incidents I have recorded of lights or devices turning on or off mysteriously. You can read about many similar cases at the link here.
